GAME PLAN

Let's get started. I'm a die-hard Rams fan. I had season tickets both at the Coliseum and Anaheim Stadium for many years. And even photographed several games from the sidelines over the final two seasons before they moved. This blog was created after reading a newspaper column by Bill Plaschke in the Los Angeles Times Sports section (read it here) about the lack of identity for former L.A. Rams players. I decided to see how many Rams fans still have an appreciation for what the Rams meant to L.A. If you're a real fan, you've got stories to tell and opinions to share. Even if you're bitter about losing our team to St. Louis, air it out right here.

RAMS REUNION


Two summers ago, there was a private event at the L.A. Coliseum celebrating the 70th anniversary of Rams football. There were many former players and coaches in attendance, but the stadium was empty except for the area in use at the peristyle end. I think that the organizers completely dropped the ball by not opening this event up to the public - maybe for an admission fee of about $20. It would have made a great charity fund raiser and allowed Rams fans to not only enjoy a nostalgic visit to the Coliseum, but also let the players know that they were appreciated here.
